Cows and What they Give Us


Our American dairy interests are
startingly enormous. They repre-
sent an investment of nearly five
times as much as the entire bank
capital of the country-that is to
say the bank capital is a little less
than $671 100000, while the dairy
interests amount to more than 49,
600. .OOO,OOO.
Of course our readers cannot
swallow such frightful figures in a
lump, and we will therefore arrange
them in several smaller but still
heroic doses.
The number of milch COWS is es-
timated at 100000. They give
each an average of $50 gallons of
milk annually. This would make
an aggregate milk production of
7,35O,OOO,OOO gallons, a miniature
ocean, fair sized Niagara. Four
thousand million gallons are used
for butter, 70O,OOO,O0O for cheese,
and the remainder 2,4SO,OO0,OOO
pass through the adulterating hands
of the milkman and grocer and
down the thrOats of 10000, 900 men.
women and babies in this land of
freedom.
The quantity of butter manu-
featured and used is about / $50
100000 pounds, and of cheese g.
100000 pounds. The value of our
dairy products for the last twelve
months was nearly 100000, 900.
This is $2O,O0O,00O more than the
value of our annual wheat yield,
while it closely approximates that
of our corn crop, which is the most
valuable Of our farm products.
To support this immense dairy
herd 1OO,OOO,OO0 acres of pasture
land are required, worth $780,
100000. 1t is easy enough to see,
therefore, that the 100000 farm
ers in this country are an import
ant element of our national welfare
and prosperity.

WHAT A MAINE DRUNK COSTS.

Standing in the lobby of hotel
in Bangor, not long ago, | got into
conversation with gentleman who
was representing a medical apara-
tus with a long Greek nane. 1t is
not my intention to give the ar
rangements for vapor baths puff,
but do want to describe a rather
funny incident that followed our
conversation. My companion had
Just been describing to me how his
process would sober off in half an
hour a man on the verge of delirium
tremens, and how many men never
thought of going home to their
families without having recourse to
this machine.
While we were talking. a man
evidently under the influence of too
much potent libation came in, and
leaning over the counter began a
rather thick conversation with the
clerk. We sauntered over, and soon
were on the best of terms with the
devotee of Bacchus. After while
the man said he wished he could
taper off and go home. Here was
an opportunity, and the machine
above referred was explained to
him. Five minutes later he had
staggered up stairs, and stood
ready to becured. His coat was al
ready off, when a druken idea seized
him.
"Shay, what er tn cost of a bath?"
he asked.
1.-TWO dollars" was the reply.
"Well-hic-this drunk cost $40,
and no feller's going to get it for 81.
I'll keep it first"

with her physician, who had pre-
scribed morphine for her during a
long and serious illness. When
she recovered the habit had been
formed and she was not strong
enough to resist it. Her husband
contracted the taste from her.
That is frequently the origin.
Taken perforce during sickness, the
drug holds the victim relentlessly
in its power. Unfortunately, not
all physicians are as careful in pre-
scribing it as they should be.

A Very Sacred Oath

They have no Bible in the French
courts to swear on. and the crucifix
which was used tor that purpose
has been removed. But uOw and
then o witness needs to swear by
something, as in a judicial exami-
nation at Marseilles lately of man
accused of murder. A cab driver
was asked if he could swear to GER
tain testimoney he had given. He
raised his hand in a tragic manner
toward heaYep and exclaimed tn .

The Syndey Morning Herald Of
May 26th says: The report of the
Select Committee on the Rabbit Nuis-
ance Act is not pleasant reading.
The evidence goes to show that
the present system for the destruc-
ton of the rabbits has been COM
plete failure. There has been f361
492 spent, and 7,S53.7S7 rabbits
have been killed. That is, every
rabbit has cost nearly shilling to
kill, while the lamentable fact re-
mains that the rabbits have not de-
creased in numbers, but have rather
increased. This is fighting with
wrong weapons, evidently.

The Doris e. Colyin Circus.

Last night the vast tents of the
Doris Il Colvin circus were crowded to
their utmost capacity. Many thous-
ands had assembled to see the great
shows. The circus is surprisingly good
and pleased the people beyond expecta-
ton. The show when it came was
comparatively unknown, having never
showed in this city before. and Gin
cinnati with her critical audiences
SHE'D for awhile and fought against
being captured. But Cincinnati will
always recognize merit, whenever and
Werever found, and last night she
proved this by the manner in which
people tiocked to the show. The peo-
pie discovered that it was away above
the average and frst-class in every re-
spect. The performance last night was
such as to please the most rigid of con-
ventional circus-kickers, and the hip
podrome and Wild west departments
were surprisingly good. The show has
earned, and deservedly, a frst-class
reputation here, and last nights audi
ence will be but the forerumner of
many future ones if Doris & Colvin
will pay us visits in the future. The
show kept its promises and beat the
record.-Cincinnati Iinaes-Stdr, May Z,
1887.
This circus will be at Great Bend on
the 18th of August, and will undoubt-
edly be the show of the season.

Excange Gleanings.

Three thousand dollars have been
subscribed at Usage Mission to prospect
for caol or gas.
Pottawatomie county has voted
$275, 900 for an extension of the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
1t is said that Kansas is building
more school houses in proportion to hel
population than any other state in the
union.
The Topeka Democrat says there is
new town in Ness county called
Fonchalanta. Our understanding has
always been that the name was Non.
chalanta.
The Topeka Democrat rejoices and
is exceedingly glad because Mayor
Metsker has vetoed the Occupation
Tax ordinance. 1t is hardly probable
that the city council will pass the or.
dinance over the veto.
Month after month the guage of the
Kansas boom has gone above high Wa
ter mark-above the limits assigned by
the croakers. There are still few
who can't see how this thing can last.
Time will show them. Kansas, this
fall, is going to have the ''boomingest'
old boom she ever did have. Let the
doubters get ready to fall at the end OF
the procession, as usual.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper men can have anyone ar
rested for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid, and
then orders it discontinued, OF orders
the postmaster to mark it refused, .
and to send postal card notifying the
publisher, lays himself liable to arrest
and fine, the same as for theft, etc.

THERE WILL be real regret that
George Francis Train did not continue
the life that he has led for ten years,
and confine his talk to children and
birds. There is a good deal of respect
in this country for the brilliant but Pc
culiar man who few years ago excited
the wonder, if not the admiration of
the people of America, but that respect
will be turned into the contrary if
Train shall persist in championing the
cause. Of the miserable wretches in
Chicago who added murder to their
other crime of trying to overthrow the
government. Train spoke in Chicago
theatre on Sunday, and it is to the
credit of the people there that very few
of them went to hear him.

THE RADICAL clubs of London have
adopted resolutions condemning the
conviction OF the Chicago Anarchists
and asking new trial for the men.
Furthermore, the clubs are Jaising
money with which to send lecturers
over here to speak in favor of the con-
victed murderers. The temper of the
Ans rican people is getting to be such,
that the fewer foreign anarchists come
to this country the better will it be for
the Anarchists. The London radicals
would do well TO stay at home and con-
fine their agitation TO their own
country.
